I always prefer not to leave Taipei whenever possible, and my visits to Tainan can be counted on one hand. That said, food has always been the one thing that can pull me out of the city — and this time was no different. I took the high-speed rail down south for a 24-hour flash trip to Tainan, and for good reason: L'évo, the two-Michelin-starred French restaurant from Toyama, was making its first-ever Taiwan appearance with a four-hands dinner at Tainan's Yu-Dao (予島). Two restaurants I deeply love, joining forces — an opportunity too rare to pass up.
